The lesson that is lost to most all who read Genesis is that this was not the first Creation but was actually a re-creation of the fallen Earth. Just read the beginning verses and notice that the Earth is already formed and under water in total darkness. The 7-days of the following verses speaks of God renewing the Earth and Creating mankind to manage it. There are several verses that speak to this event:
Psalm 104:30New King James Version (NKJV)30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.
With this being the case, the Scripture does not specifically state the age of the Universe. It only uses terms like 'in the beginning' and in Genesis it refers to this renewal but in John 1:1-3 it refers to the eons of eternity:
John 1:1-3New King James Version (NKJV) The Eternal Word1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

∙ 13y agoThere are many different versions of Christianity, so not all Christians have the same opinions about practically anything. Biblical literalists believe that the universe is about 6000 years old. Other Christians are perfectly willing to accept the scientific estimate that the universe is about thirteen and a half billion years old. And doubtless there are other Christians who have other age estimates for the universe.
